Cattaraugus County Campus

Nikita McCoy keeps going.  

When giving up would be easy, maybe even reasonable, she continues to move forward. She feels too much support, too many people behind her, not to keep charging ahead. 

It comes from her four children, her husband and his two children, and the faculty and staff at SUNY Jamestown Community College. 

And especially her late father. 

It was their dream. Together. The one that is about to come true.
